About the book: 1960 / Every time the severity of the social struggle in Turkey reached high tension, satire came to the fore in Turkish literature. In times of social upheaval, satire cast aside good-natured irony and acted as a whistleblower. It is no coincidence that the most effective, influential and popular newspapers and magazines in Turkey have always been satirical and humorous. In satirical works, people expressed their hatred, love and sympathy. Aziz Nesin's caustic laughter, his skill in constructing a storyline, his ability to find humor not in anecdotal situations or puns, but in life itself, his powers of observation and rich language have won him the reputation of the best humorist and satirist of modern Turkey..
